Beautiful looking guitar Jonathan and I agree with the colour ideas- both sound great but I think the blue would be the colour I'd go for.

As usual Jon, a great looking guitar.  I've gone with a turquoise burst over a quilt like that, but the aqua/green would look excellent too.

What weight is it, as you don't mention if it is weight relieved?
So many pickups, so little time

the weight without paint is 7lb 4oz (about 3.2 kg) - will rise to about 8lbs once fully painted
the body has a little  chambering  - not exactly the same as on the 20ths as it was done years ago but similar-ish
It would have been a little heavier but we skimmed a bit of wood off the back when the wood settled after bowing a bit on the back of the body (that's why this has been on the backburner for 5+ years

It's incredibly resonant acousticly and stunning plugged in
The 10th anniversary pickups aren't tht high output so the natural tone shines through.
